Chapter 169 Unexpected Encounter
Penny glanced at the woman next to Noah. She had flamboyant red hair, thick black eyeliner, and
heavy makeup that obscured her authentic appearance.
The woman took a disdainful look at Penny as she approached aggressively, then spat out a word with
contempt.
"Noah, who is she?"
"Uh, this is, this is my cousin."
"You're lying! Didn't you say you have no relatives in Chatville? Is this your girlfriend?"
"No, no!"
Noah anxiously tried to explain, but the woman raised her hand, slapped him across the face, and spat
on the ground.
"Get lost! Don't you ever come looking for me again, damn it!"
Noah wanted to chase after her, but Penny grabbed his sleeve.
"Noah! Don't forget that you're married. What do you think you're doing? At the very least, go home and
get a divorce before hanging around with other women outside!"
The woman hadn't gone far, and upon seeing Noah arguing with Penny, she became enraged,
considering the effort she had put into the past half month.
She turned back and forcefully shoved Penny onto the road.
"You slut! You dare steal my man! Didn't you bother to find out who I am?"
Penny didn't expect the woman to rush back and suddenly shove her onto the road.
Just as a car approached, it seemed like she was about to be hit.
Noah stood at the intersection, screaming in panic.
But at the critical moment, the car came to a stop just centimetres away from Penny's cheeks.
Shaken, Penny got up from the road and saw Noah grabbing the woman by the arm.
"Get lost! Get lost! We'll never see each other again!"
"Fine, Noah. If you dare speak to me like that, don't bother coming to work tomorrow!"
Noah's cheeks turned red, and he dared not look Penny in the eye.
Penny had snapped out of it by now, standing up from the ground. She felt a chill run down her spine
when she saw the familiar license plate.
The car window rolled down, revealing Orlando's face.
He must have just finished a social event, with two buttons of his shirt undone and one hand resting on
the car window, revealing his silver-blue cufflink.
He glanced at Penny, his tone carrying the coolness of the night.
"A new form of insurance fraud?"
Penny had no idea how to respond. On the one hand, she was angry at the woman's behavior. If she
reported it to the police, there might be a charge of attempted murder. On the other hand, she was
surprised to see Orlando here. How could she keep bumping into Orlando everywhere and always in
embarrassing situations?
"Mr. Fletcher."
She tidied up her slightly disheveled hair and nodded at him. "I'm sorry to have startled you."
Afterwards, she looked at Noah.
To some extent, Noah was afraid of this cousin of his. Although they had once lived under the same
roof, his cousin back then hardly spoke and was solely focused on her studies, lacking the aura she
now possessed.
"Noah, did you sell yourself for just a mouthful of food? Have you stooped to being with this kind of
woman?"
Penny wasn't judging based on appearance alone, but when a woman behaved like this, her favorable
impression would drop to negative levels.
If it weren't for Orlando's driver having good driving skills, she might have lost her life tonight.
Penny was already disappointed in this cousin, now feeling no hope left for him.
Especially since he didn't even go back to see their parents when something happened, he was
nothing short of an animal!
Yet the older generation always thought that having a son was useful, treating him like a precious little
bun. Even if he caused trouble, Philip and Haley would clean up after him.
The woman was still standing by Noah's side, and upon hearing these words, she rolled up her sleeves
and was about to charge forward.
"What the fuck do you mean? What do you mean by 'this kind of woman'? I earn my own money and
spend it cleanly. Don't try to fool me with your educated people's bullshit!"
Indeed, Penny's appearance gave off the impression of someone who had read many books, unlike
her.
Noah was getting frustrated and kept scolding her.
"Enough! Shut up! Didn't I tell you to get lost?"
"Fine, I'll get lost. Don't come crawling to me tomorrow with a pathetic face asking me to find you a job!"
That statement completely shattered the man's dignity and happened in front of his cousin. Noah
instinctively wanted to run away again, but Penny held him back.
"Can't you take some responsibility? Noah, you're already 28. How long do you plan on letting Haley
worry about you?"
This wasn't the first time Penny had said such things to Noah, and he could feel his face flushing with
embarrassment. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
He took a deep breath, wanting to curse at Penny, but as he felt the strong aura emanating from
Orlando beside them, his courage was instantly deflated, leaving him speechless.
